Regarding dog nail scratch
Unexpectedly, two stray dogs started fighting out of nowhere and got clashed with my leg. I got a nail scratch in that moment from one of the dogs.
But there was no bleeding, no cuts, no skin peel offs, nothing. The scratch was just like you've dry skin scratch in winters . There was no sign of broken skin too as i didn't bleed at all nor there was any scratch which indicated any redness or cuts.
I washed my feet soap water later when i returned home.
Is there anything I should be concerned about?
Kindly help as soon as possible!

Nope nothing much to worry it's grade 1
However, with rabies people be extra careful and fear a lot.
Out of precaution you may take a pep but not required frankly. Its not even category 2
